Answer 2

The government has ensured the availability of food grains with the help of a carefully-designed food-security system. This system involves the maintenance of a butter stock of food grains, and the distribution of this food among the poorer sections of the society with the help of a public distribution system. The government has also come-up with several poverty- alleviation and food intervention programmes that enhance food security; for example, the Antyodaya Anna Yojana and the National Food for Work Programme.
